EXTENSIVE emigration from Ireland
to America this year, which is ex-

years, is another form of the anti-rent
movement. The prosperous Irish in
the United States, who have to sup
port their poor at home, prefer bring

the rent to their landlords in Ireland.

in the AdUe1tiser on Saturday. The
purport of Mr.. Smiths remarks was
that it was time that such terms as
''white" and red" as applied to diff

country were dropped. He advised
the people to vote for the best men,

Their Final Resting Place
Speeches at the Grave.

CHICAGO, Dec. I8,-The bodies
|of the executed anarchists were
to-day placed in their final resting
place in Waldheim cemetery.
Two funeral trains of ten coaches

At the cemetery the caskets
containing the remains were taken
from the vault and borne to the
grave on the shoulders ofthe dead
agitator's comrades.

the members of the German Typo
graphical Union, Parsons by the
members of his old assembly of
the Knights of Labor, Engel's by
the Fresco Painters Union and
Louis Linng's by committee
from the Carpenters Union. On
Spies and Fischer's coffins were
flowers and red ribbon, on Parsons
was a bouquet Of red and yellow
roses, which served to bring out
in bold relief the red flag which
covered the caskets of Engel and
Eingg.
The undertakers removed the
lids from the coffins and the chief
mourners took their places. Among
the mourners were the near rela-
tiyes and friends of the dead an
archists. including Mrs. Schwab,
whose husband is in the peniten-
tiary; Nina Van Zandt Spies and
'Lingg's sweetheart, Elsa Friedel.
]. R. Buchanan acted as master of

position was seen. A memorial

Invention has filled the world
with competitors not only of la
borers, but of mechanics s-mechan-
les of the highest skill. To-day
the ordinary laborer is, for the
most part, peg in wheel. He
works with the tireless-he feeds
the Unsuitable. When the mon
ster stops the man is out of EN-
ployment-out of bread. He has
not saved anything. The machine
that he fed was not feeding him,
was not working for him-the inl
vention was not for his benefit.
The other day l heard a man
say that it was almost impossible
for thousands of good mechanics
to get employment, and that in
his judgment the government
ought to furnish work for the peo-
pie. A few minutes after heard
another say that he was selling a
patent for cutting out clothes,
that one of the machines could do
the work of twenty tailors, and
that only the week before he had
sold two to great house in New
York, and that over forty cutters
had been discharged. On every
side men are being discharged,
and machines are being invented
to take their places. When the
great factory shuts down, the
workers who inhabited itand gave
it life, as thoughts do the brain,
go away, and it stands there like
an empty skull. A few workmen
by the force Of habit gather about
the closed doors and broken win
dows, and talk about distress, the
price of food, and the coming
winter. They are convinced that
they have not had their share of
what their labor created. They
feel certain that the machines in
side we're not their friends. They
look at the mansion of the en-
ployer, and think of the places
where they live. Theyhave saved
nothing-nothing but themselves.
The employer seems to have
enough. Even when employers
fail, when they became bankrupt,
they are far better off than the la
borers ever were. Their worst is
better than the toiler's best.
The capitalist comes forward
with his specific. He tells the
workingman that he must be eco
nomical-and yet. under the pres
ent system, economy would only
lessen wages. Under the great
law of supply and demand every
saving, frugal, self-denying work
man is unconsciously doing what
little he can to reduce the compen-
sation of himself and his fellows.
The slaves who did not wish to
run away helped fasten chains
on those who did. So the saving
mechanic is a certificate that wages
are high enough. Does the great
law demand that every worker
live on the least possible amount
of bread3 Is it his fate to work
one day, that he may get enough
feod to be able to work another3
Is that to be his only hope-that
and death.
Capital has alwys claimed and
still claims the right to combine.
Manufacturers meet and deter
mine prices, even in spite of the
great law of supply and demand.
Have the laborers the same right
to consult and combine1 The rich

Louis Lingg was born in Mann
helm, Germany, on September 9,
1864. His father worked as a
lumberman, his mother did laun-
dry-work. Young Louis received
his education in the common
schools in Mannheim. How the
first shadows of life began to
darken the boys horizon, and to
have a decisive influence upon him
he relates thus:
MY earliest youth was happy
one indeed, until a fatal accident
which befel my father, brought
about such a change in our situa-
ton that not very seldom want
and hunger were guests in our
family. Only the utmost efforts
Of my mother prevented their Wis
its from becoming daily ones.
My father one day endeavored to
replace a heavy log of oak which
had slipped from the banks upon
the frozen surface of the river.
The icy coast gave way, father dis
appeared in the icy waters, and
was rescued only with great diff
Guilty. This event destroyed his
health and reduced his working
capacity. In consequence thereof
the noble boss saw the necessity
ofreducing the wage slaves salary,
although old Lingg had worked
for him faithfully for twelve years,
sand finally to discharge him with
the flimsy excuse that business
had decreased. When thirteen |
received the first impressions Of
the prevailing unjust social insti-
tutions, !. g., the exploitation Of
man by man. The main circum-
stances which caused these rehec-
tons in my youthful mind, were
the experiences of our own family.
II did not escape my observation
that the former employer of my
father, the lumber-dealer. grew
continually richer despite the ex-
uavagant life he and his family
we're leading, whilst, on the other
hand, my father who had per-
formed his respective part in cre-
ating the wealth the boss pos
sessed, and who had sacrificed his
health, was cast aside like worm
out tool. All this implanted into
my mind the seed OF bitter hatred
OF the existing society. which feel
ing grew still more intense with
my entrance into the industrial
arena"
Lingg learned the trade of a
carpenter, and after serving ac-
cording to the German customs.
three years apprenticeship he
travelled in Southern Germany
and afterwards in Switzerland,
working wherever there was a
Chance. Soon he learned the doc
trlneS Of Socialism. which he
eagerly espoused. In Switzerland,
especially in Berne. he began lean

revolutionary principles. He be-
gan to think that force only could

At the burial of our martyred
comrades on last Sunday Captain
w. P. Black delivered the follow
ing eloquent panegyric on the
men who were sacrificed Novem-
Der III:
It's now nearly nineteen cen
turies since there came into the
world One whose name is a house
hold word wherever civilization
has shed its light. Whatever may
be our personal views of Christ we
all know that He brought most
prominently to the light two
thoughts which have been in the
world since then. One establish
ed connection in the relation
ship between us and the eternal
God, and the other is the thought
of universal brotherhood; for if
we only know the events and cir
cumstances of to-day we are yet
the children of the Infinite, bound
up in an eternal destiny as the
children of one father. We are
brethren all. No man until the
coming of Jesus knew the secret
which broke down the narrow bar
riers of the race and the distinc-
tion Of place and Circumstances.
When He came the world had no
place .or Him. In a stable was
His birth and in a manger His
cradle.
What shall | say concerning the
civilization which boasts of His
name to-day2 AS we look back
over the long ages that have oc-
cupied these nineteen centuries we
can take heart and courage that
His doctrine of love is still alive;
for in spite of much forgetting we
still find in the long march of CEN
turies that there have been faith
full hearts in which the ages have
come to life, the beauty and glory
of His teachings. self-sacri6ce,
fraternity and love.
But it is not all that the places
of power and wealth had no room
for Him when He came; and
when he went what was it? He
taught the world divine father
hood. When Jesus teachings of
the fatherhood are added to the
teaching of the universal brother
hood of all mankind the Pharisees
and priests, scribes and Levites
combined with one accord to send
him to a feloh's death.
He taught practical fraternity.
This is to study the welfare of the
poor and oppressed rather than
one-man advantage and profit.
For this they cast Him out, but
the cross upon which they hang
ed Him became the synonym of
honor and glory.
My friends, has the world yet
reached its ultimate of purpose,
of honor and of development

Whatever you may say as to their
methods, the judgment of simple
Justice is that their purpose was
